I'm looking for a big bucket filled with every seed that could

grow into something edible in the North Eastern USA.
My goal is not to garden these plants, but to help them become wild.
I
want to roam the local land, planting random seeds in areas where I
think they might flourish, and just let them be.
why not start with the wild chicory selection that Territorial sells?
They are chicories, yes, but extremely variable, if there is a mongrel
green this is it, lime, green, speckled, red, maroon, purple, you name
it. You plant 30 plants one year, the next you will have a bag of seeds
(they are biennial). I used the seeds in my lawn and they are still
there years later, despite the mowings. These are plants that will
survive in the wild, huge plants too. If you plant lettuces, you might
as well plant your money directly.
